Image
The Red Devils paying £89million for the ex-Juventus man is not as shocking as other clubs spending £40m on one player, according to his manager Jose Mourinho has defended Paul Pogba's sluggish start to his second spell at Old Trafford, stating the world-record fee paid for him by Manchester United is not a "big deal" in relative terms. Pogba left United for Juventus in 2012 but returned in August in a transfer costing an initial £89million, making him the most expensive player in the world.

Image
A Rome court on Tuesday rejected a €444m lawsuit by Italian champions Juventus over damages suffered by the loss of their 2006 Serie A title and consequent demotion to Serie B. Juventus were handed the sanctions following their role in the “Calciopoli” match-fixing affair which rocked the world of football in the weeks leading up to the 2006 World Cup, won by Italy. Although one of five clubs involved in the scandal, Juventus were handed the stiffest punishment after police wiretaps caught Juventus official Luciano Moggi influencing the selection of supposedly partial match referees. Juventus, then coached by Fabio Capello, were stripped of the 2005 and 2006 league titles and demoted to Italy’s second division.
